A moment of play can change a day.
The Big Play
Pause, play, unite
On 11 June, Starlight is bringing the nation together for The Big Play, a shared moment where people pause their day and take part in a simple, joyful game of Simon Says.
It takes just a minute, requires no equipment, and can happen anywhere, at work, at school, at home, or with friends.
Why play matters
Play has powerful benefits for our mental, emotional and physical health, and it’s especially important for children facing illness or hospital stays. By joining The Big Play, you’re helping raise awareness of the vital role play has in healthcare.
Before 11 June, sign up to become a PlayMaker.
On the day, take part in the playful moment and share it on social media using #TheBigPlay.
